What Causes Headaches While Suffering From Rheumatic Arthritis?

Hello, I was just diagnosed with RA and lately I have been have headaches but not too severe, and I usually take a BC powder and it knocks it right out. Now that I am taking Methotrexate for my RA, I have a headache now and wanting to take this BC powder, is it safe?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
BC powder is having aspirin. It is painkiller in nature.
It is commonly used for headache, body ache etc.
Methotrexate is immuno modulator drug.
It has no analgesic property.
So you can definitely take BC powder for headache along with methotrexate.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
